    Hi Ted

    Ah relaxed pace ... lets see who turns up . Wont be snails nor eyeballs out.

    Min 20 max 25 kph, as I said the group standard will dictate, will want to keep everyone together.

    Interested ??

    Might be interested would the route go anywhere close to rochestown ave or anywhere nearby?


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,180 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    I'm interested, but can't commit to anything till Friday evening/Saturday.

    I'm out in killiney so not a million miles from Rochestown Avenue, if I can make it, we could meet up at say 8:30ish and head on over to ballaly then.

    Some hills yes ,which riders will take at their own pace after which we will regroup and carry on. Nobody will be put under pressure.
